Once upon a time they were average high-school girls, until Bethany and Hannah Keime were diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the #1 killer of student athletes. Asymptomatic, HCM most often kills without warning. Both extremely athletic, they were immediately put on medications and made life-style changes. However, their condition got worse and those precautions weren’t enough. Bethany and Hannah had defibrillators implanted, to shock their hearts when needed. Grateful to discover and manage their conditions, they are dedicated to warn the world about undiagnosed heart conditions.
